Sports themed rooms or “Man Caves” are all the rage these days. Big screen televisions and comfy couches are a given when it comes to setting up these rooms, but some have really taken it to the next level when it comes to laying out arguably the most popular room in the house. Some men have even built their man caves as a tribute in support their favorite sports team.

So was the case with my good friend. I was invited over to a housewarming party shortly after he moved into a new home. He and his wife had just bought the house of their dreams they bragged, and they wanted to share it with their friends.

I got to the house and was immediately impressed, the house was unbelievable! I received the grand tour, ending in the media room. The media room was definitely a man cave on steroids. It was themed after my buddy’s favorite baseball team; he had installed two baseball ceiling fans, a bar with a baseball diamond inlayed and had painted the wall his team’s colors. There was baseball memorabilia all over the place, great artwork too. A picture of the baseball field, bats and balls showcased on shelves, and even a digital scoreboard. To cap the room off, there were televisions everywhere, above the bar, three on the main wall, and even a small TV in the attached bathroom.

This is the fifth report in the series of our 2010 fantasy baseball rankings looking at the position of third base. Third base appears to have the shallowest depth of all the positions this season with a solid top tier of players and few players with any upside later in the draft.

The following players offer additional flexibility by qualifying at two or more positions. Guys like Pablo Sandoval, Jorge Cantu, Mark DeRosa, Chase Headley, Jhonny Peralta, Mark Teahen, Garrett Atkins and Jake Fox are worth considering if you have them ranked closely with another player on your draft board. If I have two players that are rated close together, I will usually give the nod to the player that qualifies at two positions to make it easier to manage my lineup during the season.
